I just had a conversation with a family member who returned from a family  
funeral in Portland, Oregon. Most of the clan are from Pinedale, Wyoming. They  
said the oil and gas development is moving at such a booming rate that  
archaeologists there are not analyzing anything, not writing reports, and not  
cataloguing their recoveries and capping the sites. They say all the  
archaeologists working in the area are in cahoots, especially the BLM and other  federal 
archaeologists. These non-archaeology family members are pretty appalled  at the 
situation in Wyoming right now. Frankly, if this is how the general  public 
sees archaeology in Wyoming, we are all in trouble. Talk about creating  access 
to archaeological information, what can the Wyoming SHPO be thinking to  
allow such a negative public perception???
